Hello world :-) Sorry for cross posting but I just need short quick info :-)
I am writing a paper and designing distributed real world hardware build and runtime verification for NuttX RTOS, kinda in-house what you have CI automation to complement build only CI. There are over 15 different supported architectures on 340 different boards and around 1500 different existing configurations at this point so changing one thing may impact others. Recently it turned out not only changing one place impacts others in build but also runtime validation needs better tools as qemu did not reveal real world hardware problems (i.e. registers alignment). I am using FreeBSD as the build host. Did setup laptop and rpi-0-2W as the test node workers for the prototype. For the paper I am searching for references and current state of the art in similar solutions. I know FreeBSD is CI tested on VM/QEmu. But question is do we have this kind of real world hardware testing in place? :-) Also hints / references on how to setup one-time-use Jails per build and runtime process that would execute untrusted code and scripts are welcome. I know Ports prohibits connectivity after fetch phase.. unfortunately in NuttX some components are fetched during build right now and we are searching for some solutions :-P Any hints appreciated :-) Tomek -- CeDeROM, SQ7MHZ, http://www.tomek.cedro.info
